Helping investors connect with the best entrepreneurs!
About us
Disruptive networking events, designed to connect Entrepreneurs with Investors, by showcasing their marketing, adaptability, and communication skills. --- Hear from CEOs at the seed-stage, BUT with a huge twist! They'll present more than just their normal business pitch... Each of the five will have 5mins to present a bad business idea to the audience, in an effort to convince us that it could actually work. The ideas are randomly selected for the participants and are often completely ridiculous. This isn't just for laughs, but no reason we can't have fun as we talk business. The intent is to give entrepreneurs a way to step out from behind their personal startups, as they show the group of investors their adaptability, marketing skills, and salesmanship!

#ShitPitch @ShitPitch was #killa last night! Kent Richeson has created something very special and fun - three Founders get to pitch a real business idea to investors.....but first! they need to pitch a shitty business idea. The Founders killed it! they were fantastic and very entertaining. I loved that people doing great things for our community got a chance to share, like my dear friend Brandy Vega who founded #Promise2Live Promise2Live which is preventing suicide and saving lives. Join the challenge to get 50,000 coin 'hugs' to first responders and schools over the holidays.

Words getting out! Los Angeles is next for Dec 3rd RSVP is required shitpitch.co
Event Producer | Community Builder | Media + Social Content Strategist | Brand Activations
If you know me, you know I attend and produce a LOT of events. But this one stood out. Last week, I went to Shit Pitch and it was one of the most creative and entertaining networking events I’ve attended in a hot minute. The concept? Founders pitch their business idea… AND THEN they also have to pitch a random but themed horrible idea on the spot. 😆 With little prep. Just creativity, adaptability, and humor. It was funny, inspiring, and filled with incredible people. If you’re in LA, the next ShitPitch is on December 3rd—don’t miss it! 🎟️ https://lu.ma/fwixafzb Shout to the founder Kent Richeson + the pitchers Zain Premji & Sabina Hemmi & Jack Sawyer #LosAngelesevents #founders #investors #keepnetworkingweird #Austinevents
